Flagship builds
Production-grade systems at the hard edges of crypto — privacy, MEV, and agentic DeFi.


More things I’ve shipped
Daily crypto prediction markets on Arc Testnet — USDC-as-gas UX, on-chain settlement, daily auto-rollover.
Daily-activity dApp on DAC Inception Testnet — check-in, jam, quests, badges, spin-wheel, leaderboard.
Lightweight self-hosted AI agent — Termux-ready, OpenRouter, Telegram + Web UI, device access. Open source (MIT).
Native macOS menu-bar voice dictation powered by Groq Whisper. Hold hotkey, speak, release — text is pasted at the cursor instantly.
Where I go deep
The themes I keep returning to — the parts of crypto that are still genuinely hard.
Privacy
FHE prediction markets and TEE-based dark order books — confidential state that still settles on-chain.
Agentic DeFi
Soulbound AI copilots, autonomous routing and agent-mediated payments (x402, ERC-7984).
Confidential settlement
No-bridge cross-chain UX (CCTP V2), MEV resistance, and the seams where gas, UX and finality meet.

Background

I’m an independent engineer focused on production-grade Web3 systems. Three-plus years in crypto across DeFi protocols, token launchpads, cross-chain UX, and AI-augmented on-chain tooling.
Recent work clusters around three themes: privacy (FHE markets, TEE-based dark order books), agentic DeFi (soulbound AI copilots, autonomous trading), and native tooling (macOS productivity apps for the developer workflow).
I ship across the full stack — Solidity contracts to Next.js frontends, Solana programs to Swift desktop apps — and care a lot about the seams between them: gas, UX, settlement guarantees, and the boring infra that decides whether a product actually works in production.
Currently exploring: confidential compute (Zama FHEVM, Intel TDX, MagicBlock), agent-mediated payments (x402, ERC-7984), and no-bridge cross-chain UX (CCTP V2).
Let’s build something substantial.
